Nabors and students and faculty in the Department of Political Science in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Alaska Anchorage warmly invite you to join them on Constitution Day, September 17, for an upcoming event that is not to be missed, the first Chartwell Lecture of our 2022–23 series, in collaboration with the University’s Pi Rho of Alaska Chapter of Pi Sigma Alpha, the national political science honor society, and the Union League of Anchorage, a nonprofit educational foundation.

He has been primary counsel for more than a hundred trials and arbitrations, representing individuals and large corporations, and has argued before the Ninth Circuit and Oregon appeals courts.
